save_input function

Save Observed Data

Save Observed Data

Saves observed data to a target location if given.

save_input(data, target_folder)

Arguments

  • data: A <data.frame> of disease reports (confirm) by date (date). confirm must be numeric and date must be in date format. Optionally this can also have a logical accumulate column which indicates whether data should be added to the next data point. This is useful when modelling e.g. weekly incidence data. See also the fill_missing() function which helps add the accumulate column with the desired properties when dealing with non-daily data. If any accumulation is done this happens after truncation as specified by the truncation argument.
  • target_folder: Character string specifying where to save results (will create if not present).

Returns

No return value, called for side effects
